Dear All, My name is Gabriela Gibson and I've applied for the internship with Subversion under the Gnome Outreach for Women Program.
I am an ex-wizardess who used to haunt a long-lost MUD. I've not programmed in a while, although I've *intended* to join more than one open-source project in the past. I've been using linux since 1997. For my initial submission I have written a test for issue 4263 which I'll mail shortly. I admit that I struggled to figure out how to connect gdb to svnrdump in my build tree (since svnrdump is actually a shell script, and svnrdump reads from stdin) but I am now working on a fix for 4263. BTW, I noticed that the python tests in subversion/tests/cmdline/ don't support a "list" parameter as suggested in subversion/tests/README. Is there a reason for this? Otherwise, this might something I could fix. I don't know what I would be doing for my project yet, because I realise that the Subversion codebase is large and complicated - my learning curve has been both long and steep. However, I feel that I'm reaching the point where I can contribute to the project. Regards Gabriela
